Thanks heaps to Jemimah for introducing me to beryl-compiz!
I think it was with Fluppy 08 that i tried beryl for the first time.
Although I soon reverted to icewm, i would revisit beryl to experiment with what it has to offer.

I've done a new usb frugal install of Fluppy 13 with compiz and likes the default Rox panel instead of Cairo dock. If i want to change to Cairo dock and back to Rox panel, the Cairo dock switcher comes very handy - how easy is that? My compliments to Jemimah for keeping us users in mind...

I did find out that Compiz has changed the desktop right click menu. Gone are the Applications menu and in its place looks like the rox filer menu(?) This behaviour is preserved even when changing to icewm/openbox/flwm. I've looked at forum for compiz and rox in search of a solution but could not find a similar question asked.

It's a setting in the ROX options. Go to Compatibility and check "Pass backdrop mouse clicks to the window manager".

In icewm & openbox, checking that option restored the Applications menu when right-clicking on the desktop. Is it possible to achieve the same within flwm and compiz?

You can't in Compiz.

There's a script /usr/local/bin/flwm-menu that I used in the past to build a an application menu for flwm, but it uses the jwmrc to get the menu entries and jwm is not there anymore. So it would be necessary to fix the script to use the IceWM menu file.

I have some generic (alpha quality) code for parsing the desktop files to generate a generic gtkdialog menu ... gtkdialog runs pretty slowly with that much info, but the script could be adapted to pretty much any menu system. I'll see if I can post it when I get home this evening if anyone is interested in trying to implement a more direct method of generating the menu._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101
